SPECIAL-WORK SEWING-MACHINE.

Application filed March 13, 1915.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, Airrnrn llosENTimL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, county of Kent, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful vImprovements in SwwialVork Sewr ing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to in'iprov'ements in special work sewing machines and relates particularl)y to improvements in sewing machiney for stitching labels or similar pieces of material to a garment o1I other piece of work. This invention consists in improvements upon the special work sewing machine. disclosed in the pending application of Arthur Rosenthal and Michael Ietrocchi Serial No. 797,661, filed )ctober 2T, 1913.

The Objects of this invention are:

First. to provide, in a machine of the class described, improved label feeding mechanism and improved means for actuating the same.

Second, to provide, in a machine of the class described. improved means for actuatingil the upper thread cutting knife.

Third. to provide. in a machine ofthe class described. an improved work holder and label holder of simplified construction and to provide improved meansl for actuating the same.

Further objects. and objects relating to ,ilet'ails'and economics of construction and operation will definitely appear rom the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish theobjects of in v invention h v thc devices and means described in the following specification. ll`he invention is clcarlv defined and pointed out in the claims.

A `structure constituting a preferred elnbodiment of my invention is illustrated in Specification of Letters Patent.

In' the drawing, similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Considering the numbered parts of .the drawings, the machine comprises the base 1, the Vuide base 2 and the head 3 on the arm '1. n the arm 4 the elevating lever 5 is mounted on the rock shaft (i which carries ward end in the plate (3T earried by the giiide head 225, and at itsl rear end in the llanges Ztl and 21) of the eloth giiard 2S and the bottoni work plate, as shown in Fig. Y. .lt rollin' tit# is fixed on said pin in front of tho iiptnrned [lange 25" and a eonipression spring Gf) is disposed on said pin no between the plate HT and the eollar (39. 'llie rear end of the pin (Sti projeets rearwardly. as ahown in Fig. V. in position to be engaged by a. wear plate Ttl on the guide easing 2 when the arin 22 and the parts earri-ed theielrtr :ire inoved rearwardlv daring the i-.vrle ol'l the niaehine.

(roorve Til is provided in one olV the .side ineinbers Jfof the label .slide` and a liar TS 'is reeiproiabliv nioiiiited in said groote Til,

said liar earrying at its forward end the label follower HU whirl. is atiarhedr at one edge to the bar T* and extends arross the label Jslide. rllhe bar 7H is reeiproeated hv the ineehanisin whit-h l will now desi'ribe. An arni Tl is inoiinted on the work holder presser foot 3H. said ai'iii having a slot il! in its oiiter end in which the iipper end of lever T3 is fiilerinned on the pivot 7l. The lower end of lever 72S is otl'set .somewhat at 75 and provided with a noteh Tt'i in whieh a pin TT carried b'v the rear end of the bar 7S is disposed. A lateh Si is pivoted at H2 to the lever T3. the iippeil end of said lateh being provided with the notch Q3 in the edge thereof which engages a lurking pin $4 fixed on the side of the arin Tl. The

i iipper end of the lateh Sl is beveled as at S5. A spring Sti eonneeted lo the lati-h S1 at ST. a slight diw'tanee above the pivot H2. the other end of said spring 5o being fixed to the pin SHrarried b'v the pressi-r t'oot 3S. A braeket f ltl is sei-ined to the se'i ing niaehine head 3 hv the sei-mrs ,ll. .said braeket being provided with a dow'nwnrdlv extendingr arni H2 having a eain edge and a rearwardly and downwardl)r extending portion 93. the latter being adapted to engage the bevelltl end H5 ot' the lateli Hl when the work holder presser foot and the pai-tsaarl'ied tliel'eb)Y are raised` so as to trip the lateli Sl so that the spring' Htl will aetoate lever Til to reeiproeate the label l'ollower. A laterallv projet-ting arin HSI is forined on the lever l-S and daringI the e vele ol' the inaeliine. the niovenient ol' the work earijviiig arin and the partsl earried therein n ill bring' said ai'ni Htl in line with the `arin fr.) of the braeket il() so as to` rork the lever Til on its`pivot to` l'eti'aetttlie label follower. rl`he label follower is antoniatieally latehed in retracted position hiv lati-l1 Sl4 Arms tit projet-t from the rear edge of the label follower S0, having an opening .l therebetween and the forward ends of said arias are provided with downwardly and reari'ardly projecting fingers 06. A label guide plate 97 is secured to the side mear bers lli of the label slide. said gnide plate being pi'oiided willi rearwardly and'downwaiillv pi'oieeting lingers JS and 95), the een tral linger il# being narrower than the oiiter lingers fifi so that it is disposed in opening of when the follower is in its forward position. 'l`lie bottoni plate ltltl is seein-ed tothe bottoni .siirfaees ot' the side ineinbers` 43 and is provided with a pair of slots 101 in which the lower edges otl lingers llt' are disposed to giiide the label followm'. as it is aetiiated b v the reeiproeating bar TS. The top plate llt is ,seeiii'ed to the iipper siirlaees of the .side iiienihers` lll b v sei-ewv 11W, said top patebeing provided with an opening 104 through whii-h the label is inserted in plaee relative to the label l'ollower. The bottoni plate lil is seein-ed to the bottoni of the work holder presser toot and is provided with a label opening,r l()( roi-responding in aine i'o the label and with upright posts 10T proieeting adjaeent. the rear edge ot' said opening loll and aeting as a stop for the real edge of the label as it is fed into plaee over said opening.r 10h.
